SUBJECT RESCIND AWARD FOR LABORATORY SERVICES FROM ARMSTRONG FORENSIC
LABORATORY, INC. AND AWARD CONTRACT TO CERTES ENVIRONMENTAL
LABORATORIES, L.L.0
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Rescind the contract awarded to Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc.; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to amend City Secretary Contract (No. 25619) with ERMI Environmental
Laboratory to increase the contract amount from $30,000 to $75,000; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services contract with Certes Environmental
Laboratories, L.L.C. in the amount of $30,000.
DISCUSSION:
On January 25, 2000 (M&C C-17830), in response to the Environmental Management Department's
request for environmental analytical laboratory analysis, the City Council awarded professional service
contracts to Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc. and to ERMI Environmental Laboratory.
Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc., as the primary contractor, was awarded a $75,000 contract, and
ERMI Environmental Laboratory, as the secondary contractor, was awarded a $30,000 contract.
Although Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc. signed the contract, they were unable to obtain the
insurance specified by the contract, therefore, the Environmental Management Department
recommends rescinding the award to Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc. and designating ERMI
Environmental Laboratory as the primary contractor.
Because ERMI Environmental Laboratory will be designated as the primary contractor, it is necessary
to amend the contract with them to increase the contract amount to $75,000, and designate a
secondary contractor.
Based upon the total point distribution of the measures included in the request for proposals and the lab
audit results, staff recommends that Certes Environmental Laboratories, L.L.C. be designated as the
secondary contractor and awarded a $30,000 contract.
